Nérac, Aquitaine, Address available on request

At the end of a 600 m path, with 5 hectares of organic meadows and woods, in a peaceful setting immersed in nature, this former farmhouse has been completely restored using ecological and natural materials to provide excellent thermal insulation and comfortable living all year round. The straw earth walls are lime rendered on the outside and earth rendered on the inside. The interior partitions are timber-framed with soundproofing (wadding and hemp). The roofs were insulated with wood wool. All of this has resulted in an excellent B and A Dpe rating. The house is also insulated during the hot summer months. A wood-fired central heating system from the property, with hot water produced by solar panels, provides cost-effective heating.
